Fighting game pro injures himself in crazy celebration after tournament win TwitterA Rivals of Aether pro\u2019s celebration after winning a tournament was so intense, he ended up actually suffering an injury in the process. Fighting game player Alex \u2018CakeAssault\u2019 Strobel took celebrations to the next level after coming first place in the Riptide Major, beating out Penguin to take home the crown. What followed was an unbelievable sight with the fighting prodigy literally leaping out of his seat, dancing, and jumping like Gollum in Return of the King after finally holding onto The Ring again. Unlike Lord of the Rings, however, the floor wasn\u2019t lava and CakeAssault found himself rolling on the ground and lying on his back just soaking in his achievement.

Taking to Twitter, the Rivals of Aether star revealed he suffered an injury during the celebration and that\u2019s why he hit the floor. \u201cI fell on the ground during that popoff because I dislocated my shoulder,\u201d he wrote, but remained in good spirits, tacking on a \u201clmao\u201d to the message. also i fell on the ground during that popoff cuz i dislocated my shoulder lmao \u2014 CakeAssault (@CakeAssault) September 12, 2021 Luckily, he seems to be doing well, writing that he was \u201cmostly\u201d okay when fans inquired about his condition.
